Build a funny robot
If you like robot wars then you will not be liking this, it’s the Baka Robo Cup 2007competition held in Japan, well where else would you expect this to be held?
Now this is not your average robo competition, it is designed for robots that cannot do anything useful. However there is a prize of $4,200 for best useless robot in the world.
To qualify for the competition, aspiring baka-robo must satisfy 3 conditions: (1) they must be mechanical in nature (i.e. they must have moving parts), (2) they must serve no useful purpose (i.e. they must be as impractical and worthless as possible), and (3) they must make people laugh (with entertaining action, amusing features, systems that surprise or shock the audience, etc.).
The deadline for entries is October 5th 2007 and the glorious winner will be announced on November 4th 2007. The Baka Robo Cup 2007.
